This is a conversation where Genevieve and I discuss and compare stories of hosting poetry events, what it means to be vulnerable during the creative process, different styles of poetry and writing, and colorful characters we’ve met along the way. All with the sonic backdrop of my dog, Pepper, incessantly licking himself.

Genevieve was born in San Antonio, Tx and has been a Central Texan all her life. While residing in Austin with her husband, 3 cats, and dog, she has always strived to create community through food, art, and support. Genevieve is the host of the private (open to those who seek it) poetry and creative arts event Drink and Ink. She is also a Cowboy Poetry performer, with enough vigor to spur the imagination of any active listener.
